Summary
Malicious code in load-nuxt (npm)
Details
Package name resembles the Nuxt ecosystem's helper naming ('load-nuxt') and is published at version 99.0.3, a version-number shape frequently used in name-confusion/dependency-confusion publishes rather than in normal semver progression. No install-time exfiltration, remote code fetch-and-execute, silent-relay, credential distribution, or backdoor mechanism was identified in the scanned contents, and no lifecycle scripts or suspicious network destinations were observed. Because both the name-similarity signal (subjective) and the anomalous version bump exist without a corroborated payload, the correct handling is human review of the maintainer, publish history, and package contents before recommending trust.
## Source: ghsa-malware (51e475d9543882ebee30bfa4afcd420b0f31aa8fba019b419eefa59c1fa9bcdf) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
